Bosnia:The Forgotten Peacekeepers
12 minutes, 2004
Ref: 389

Bosnia has become a guinea pig in a massive experiment in international intervention, but the experiment isn't yet a success. Crime and corruption in the new Bosnia is rampant. Bosnia's civil war has been over for eight years, but soldiers still tramp the hills looking for weapons, but the calamity is no longer war but economic misery. The absence of war has brought not peace but purgatory. A society in the shadows, where law is largely a rumour. The Dayton peace accords have divided the country into sullen halves. In the Serb half, criminals and corruption dominate the dark streets. Smuggling, money laundering, drug trafficking, it's all here and all tolerated by a government heavily involved.
